    Hi Dazzle they only mentioned that everyone got through the hit out bar Harmsey. So sounds like Grundy will be ready to go if picked and I hope that he and JJ come straight into the team.!!

    HUN says Brodie did little, virtually nothing when forward. Schache even less. Harmes did his hammy. Disco went forward and did OK. Spargo the standout.

    One player who does look for a target kicking into the fifty. Something we’re crying out for.

    Roo will be suspended who else is tall and has been know to kick a goal. He is also ten times better  ruckman than Roo.

    I said it in the pre game, the podcast, everywhere. I did not want this afterthought on whether we could have used Grundy or not.

    Don't think it would have been a massive difference but geez.

    Agree

    would have nullified Cox and freed max 

     

    lost at selection again

    Freed max to do what, get 40 disposals instead of only 27?

    (BTW, Cox had 9 disposals and 2 marks ... not exactly game-winning)

    He led the AFL in this regard in '21

    We simply don't have a top line key forward to bring in next week. What Spargo is, or can be, is someone who can hit a team-mate in the forward 50 on the chest more than anyone else on our list. 

    To NOT include him would be our biggest risk.

    Probably Turner or Tommo up forward and Spargo for Laurie.

    Could you be really adventurous and play AMW?

    Get more disposals and kick goals

    cox’s incidental acts like taking two Mfc players out and allowing a pies mark and goal don’t count. Things like that

    I know Max plays his best footy when he’s the sole ruckman, but it’s a big ask for him to ruck solo for four successive games should we get to the GF.

    Grundy in means Max plays, say, 50% forward. Would certainly test both Blues and Lions(?) defenders.

    A bonus if Grundy could snag a goal or two.

    Grundy should come in and share ruck duties.
    Gawn was immense in the ruck. But now he has to sacrifice for the team to get the most out of someone else possibly at the (hopefully minor) expense of his own game.

    Can he do it? From his rhetoric, he will ask Goodwin for Grundy to play - I just hope he knows that what that means for him. 

    Those that want the Grundy Experiment to continue into next year - this is it, and it is on Max to make it work.

    Would be a big risk to try Disco forward but he is mobile and can take a grab - can see him adding more as a forward than Grundy tbh

    Wether he plays or not he will not be at the demons next year. With Roo out we need another tall and there is no one else.

      It’s Game Day, and 205 days have passed since the final siren sounded at the MCG, bringing Melbourne’s 2025 season to a close and marking the end of an era. In just a few hours, a new chapter begins for the Demons. What are you most hoping to see from Melbourne today?

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
